Seafood Glazing Systems — Dip, Spray & Cascade | Engineered by Havmek

Havmek glazing systems maintain glaze accuracy through controlled dwell time, calibrated nozzle flow or immersion speed, stable glaze bath temperature (0–2°C via integrated chillers), and automated recirculation with inline filtration. Multi-point temperature sensors and PLC-based control prevent thermal drift across long production shifts.

All glazing systems use closed-loop recirculation with filtration, controlled overflow, and optional integrated chiller systems. This reduces water consumption and keeps clarity stable throughout long shifts.

Yes. Havmek designs all three glazing systems — dip, spray, and cascade — to interface directly with upstream IQF freezers, conveying systems, and downstream packing or portioning lines without requiring major plant layout changes. Engineering review is included in the project scoping process.

All Havmek glazing systems are constructed in SS304/SS316L with sloped drainage bases, clean-flow recirculation, foldable conveyor access for tank cleaning, and open-frame construction for full washdown and CIP compatibility. Designed to meet EHEDG hygienic engineering standards and EU food safety regulations.

Systems operate with water maintained at 0–2°C using chillers, insulated tanks, and temperature sensors to ensure proper adhesion and avoid thermal drift.

The overall timeline depends on the level of customization, site requirements, and project depth. Once the specifications are confirmed, our engineering team begins design and fabrication, followed by detailed testing and final commissioning. For clarity on your specific project, our expert consultant will guide you through an accurate schedule.

You can begin by contacting our team or writing to us at info@havmek.com and sharing your process requirements, layout details, and production goals. Once we understand your needs, we start the design and modeling process and outline the next steps for your project.

Customers receive structured progress updates at regular intervals, including biweekly and monthly reports with photos, design checkpoints, and milestone summaries. This ensures full visibility throughout design, fabrication, and installation.

Yes. During the early requirement discussions, Havmek factors in possible future needs such as capacity growth, product changes, or line expansion. This allows the system to support long-term scalability and remain compatible with future upgrades.

Havmek delivers custom built, cost efficient and certified solutions for seafood processing, engineered with strict hygiene standards and a strong focus on consistent product quality. From processing to final packaging, we help you optimize operations, reduce waste, and maximize profitability.

Havmek provides glazing systems, conveying solutions, freezing equipment, grading units, and integrated end-of-line handling. All systems are designed to match process flow, layout conditions, and capacity requirements. Discover our other offerings

Standard OEMs sell fixed models. Havmek creates machines that are engineered to fit the customer’s layout, capacity, product type, and workflow. We solve challenges related to space limitations, nonstandard product dimensions, slow ROI, and integration complexity which traditional OEM machines cannot address.

Havmek manages the complete cycle including discovery, design, simulation, fabrication, testing, integration, commissioning, and long term support. All machines are designed using engineering tools and manufactured in ISO certified facilities.

Havmek provides 24X7 remote assistance, onsite support within 48 hours in most regions, preventive maintenance, spare parts availability, and long term service programs. This ensures consistent uptime and reliable long term performance.

Dip glazing submerges products in a chilled bath — highest glaze uniformity, ideal for whole shrimp and scallops. Spray glazing applies a controlled mist above the belt — lower water use, suitable for fillets and mixed portions at high speeds. Cascade glazing uses a falling-film flow — gentlest application, supports up to 35% glaze, best for delicate or high-value seafood.

Havmek Dip and Spray Glazing Systems achieve glaze percentages up to 20%. The Cascade Glazing System supports up to 35% across multiple glaze passes — suitable for premium frozen seafood products requiring extended frozen shelf life and protective ice coating.

Yes. Havmek glazing systems are ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified and designed to comply with EU food safety regulations and Norwegian seafood export quality standards. Systems are deployed in shrimp, salmon, and whitefish processing facilities across Norway, the UK, France, Spain, and Portugal.
